Thucydides

Aristotle's Organon
(Or a more modern book on formal logic)

I want to read the minimum of Greek as possible, assuming the Republic was everything important about Plato what else do I need?

>>11355558
Your goals are a little unclear. What is your interest in philosophy? Ethics, metaphysics, political philosophy? Just follow the train of philosophy through history. But pretty much no matter which area, you gonna read Aristotle next.

>>11355532
why would I listen to these idiots on logic? give me something interesting about philosophy worth reading

>>11355558
You want to read the romans right?

It is amazing that it basically took 2000 years for mathematics to advance to the point that Aristotle's work in the field of logic could be improved upon. Kant thought logic was basically done with Aristotle.

The Republic isn't Plato's only important work... Although you seem kinda grumpy, maybe you'd enjoy a different hobby?

>>11355651
See >>11355675 I guess. Although the stoics also developed logic.

Emerson

>>11355451
>not buying the complete works and going through all of the dialogues
one of the greatest minds in history, and you can't spend a thousand and 700 pages on him?

It’s not even worth it anon. You get the gist of the most important ideas by reading The Republic, The Laws, Timaeus/Critias, and MAYBE Parmenides

Death of Socrates’ dialogues and most others are just New Testament version of Plato.

I wish I could. Unfortunately my humongous intellect cannot stoop to such miniscule brainletism, any more than Jupiter can become a maggot
